A massive, shout-out to my incredible friend 🤍

When funding fell through, you stepped up, set up a GoFundMe, and believed in my dream when things felt impossible.

The kindness, love, and community support have truly brought me to tears.

This year has had its challenges, but it also transformed my outlook on life. Life is too short, and nothing defines you—you write your own path.

I’m back in the studio sewing day and night because Carina Rose Designs is heading to London Fashion Week with ! ✨

I cannot wait to share the Selkies Awakening collection with you all, featuring my custom tartan, Soarsa (Freedom & Liberation).
This journey has pushed me creatively in ways I never imagined.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you for helping me make this dream a reality. 🤍✨

The tide remembers what the shore forgot. Bound in lace, pulled by salt—it’s time to return. 🌊✨

"A wild thing rescued from the cage of land."

I was drowning in recovery until my 11-year-old daughter wrote me a lifeline.

Her poem, A Tide-Return, dug straight into my love of ancient Scottish folklore and pulled me out of the dark.

She gave me back my fight.

She reminded me that we don't break—we shed what holds us back and return to our element.

That raw survival built this brand. Every seam, every sustainable thread, and every piece in this collection carries the weight of rising from rock bottom
To the runway at London Fashion Week with

This isn't just fashion. It's Scottish culture, folklore, reclamation, and blood-deep resilience.

The tide is rising.

A little chat from the heart… 🤍
A lot of you have been asking what actually happened with my surgery and why recovery has taken so long.
The short version? The internal wires from my reconstructive ear were eroding (I was born with microtia). I went in for surgery, hit complications, and am now navigating life with FND. Throw in being deaf in one ear and living with ADHD, and life definitely keeps things interesting!
It hasn’t been an easy , but there is always someone worse off. I am just deeply grateful to be here, embracing every part of who I am.
My mind might be a little chaotic, but that chaos is my superpower—and it’s the exact raw energy I pour directly into my designs.
Life is a complete rollercoaster. Own your journey, embrace what makes you different, and appreciate every step of it. ✨

Finally keeping a piece for myself! ✂️ Cut up some old denim, added a little magic at the machine, and created this custom cropped look. Never letting this one go! 🔥✨
